"I found it really useful to see how detailed your breakdown of descriptors are for billable time. I can see how it will help staff to know what to bill for and what not to bill for but also show clients what we are doing"
"Workshop was great and reflected my concerns around travel, as a sole trader OT seeing Paediatric clients my travel slightly differs from some of the Home-Mods OT's."Â
